Writers have long struggled to adapt the sprawling sci-fi epic, but David S. Goyer was able to convince Apple executives to fund a series with some help from this ultra-concise logline
In adapting the seemingly unadaptable, Goyer determined there were a trio of problems others had faced along the way.that I think have tripped up all the other adaptations,” he said. “The first is that the story is supposed to span 1,000 years with all these massive time jumps — that’s hard to tell. It’s certainly hard to capsulize in a two- or three-hour film. The second aspect is, the books are kind of anthological.
He continued, “The third thing is that they’re not particularly emotional; they’re books about ideas, about concepts. So a lot of the action happens off-screen. In the books, the Empire, which is on 10,000 worlds, literally falls off-screen — like, it happens in between chapters. Obviously, that wasn’t going to work for a television show.
So without giving too much away, I figured out a way to have some of the characters extend their lifespans. About six characters will continue from season to season, from century to century. That way it becomes half anthological, half continuing story.” No one knows if it will work, but I can say there’s definitely never been a show like it on TV before,” he said.
